Abstract

A 50-year-old female patient with severe unilateral pain in the right eye, head, and face accompanied by lacrimation and drooping of the right eye and rhinorrhea from the right nose, which developed immediately after extraction of the maxillary right first and second molars, was successfully treated with oral administration of sumatriptan and prednisolone, or verapamile. Although the clinical characteristics are similar to those reported in cluster headache except the temporal feature, the probable cluster headache, the hemicrania continua and the acute migraine headache should be included in the list of differential diagnoses.
